Would the Sony VAIO recovery discs restore my OS Win-7?
Hello,
I bought Sony VAIO VGN-NW20SF Intel Core2 Duo Windows-7 from London Westfield (WhiteCity) Sony Store in November 2009. I have now permanently moved to my home country India. I have had created two recovery discs as suggested by Sony VAIO initially when I switched-on my laptop for the first time. Now I think theres a problem with the web browser of my laptop(internet explorer and google chrome-both-the ones that I normally use) and the internet connectivity.
Error message is: "Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to http://www.facebook.com
Try reloading: www.­facebook.­com
Additional suggestions:
Access a cached copy of www.­facebook.­com
Go to www.­facebook.­co
Search on Google: "
I have tried to refresh the page many a times. Same problem exist with other websites but most of the times with Facebook. Facebook never opens with the first click...never...! I have reinstalled both of the above mentioned browsers many a times but the problem still exist. I use my home wifi only with my laptop. Home wifi connectivity and internet is excellent without any problems(as we use the same on our mobiles). Now, I have few questions...
1. Would using the recovery discs solve the problem?
2. Would the recovery discs restore my laptop to its starting point (including its built in OS Win-7 and drivers initially installed)?
3. How exactly and in the best way to use these recovery discs?

1. Possibly!
2. Yes.
3. To boot from your CD/DVD, the BIOS settings on your computer must be configured to do this. On start up keep tapping either F1, F2, F10,(Be Aware that some manufacturers use F10 for system recovery!) Esc, or Del, to enter the BIOS set-up. Look for "Drive configuration", "Boot order" or similar and make the CD/DVD drive the first boot device and the hard drive second. Save settings and exit.

Insert the disk into your CD/DVD drive, and then restart your computer.
When you see the "Press any key to boot from CD" message, press a key to start the computer from the CD/DVD.

Follow the instructions on the screen to select and format (NTFS) a partition where you want to install Windows.

Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the Windows Setup.

Get some Anti-Virus protection, activate and update Windows!
